Answer: missense

Explanation:A missense mutation is a type of mutation in which there is a change in one single nucleotide in a DNA sequence which results in an altered mRNA sequence and consequent incorporation of wrong amino acid into the amino acid sequence of a protein. The single nucleotide change in DNA results in a different codon on the mRNA sequence and this leads to production of a protein that is different from the original protein. This change can affect the function of the protein, in most cases it makes the protein nonfunctional.

Answer: False

Explanation: The COMPLEMENT SYSTEM consists of proteins synthesized in the liver. They are activated by inespecific harmful substance (antigen) and begins a cascade of proteins that finally forms an attack complex against bacteria.

The COMPLEMENT is part of the INNATE IMMUNITY, because it is an inherent response, something all humans born with, and it is part of the first defense barrier against any antigen. Part of the innate immunity are too: natural killer cells, neutrophils, monocytes, dendritic cells and macrophages.

On the other hand, the ADAPTATIVE IMMUNITY, is the response that the body develops after being exposed to an antigen before. It is like something that the body recognizes, and then "learns" how to act against it. Part of the adaptative immunity are: lymphocyte T and B, and the antibodies (substances called Immunoglobulins). The immunoglobulins (Ig) are glycoproteins present in the blood.
